Where the number of applications is greater than the planned
admission number, applications will be considered against the
criteria set out below.
After the allocation of children with an EHC plan, the admission
criteria will be applied in the following order of priority:
1. Looked After children (Children who are in Public Care
as defined in section 22 of the 1989 Children’s Act – this
includes foster children).
The highest priority must be given to Looked After Children
and previously Looked After Children. Previously Looked After
Children, are children who were looked after, but ceased to
be so because they were adopted (or became subject to a
child arrangements order or special guardianship order).
2. Children of staff in the school who have been employed
in the school for two or more years at the time of the
application for admission is made. Priority will be limited to
one place for each form of entry in any year.
After applications under criteria 1 and 2 have been allocated
the remaining places will be offered as follows:
3. Sikh Faith. The governors will reserve 80% of the remaining
places in Reception and Nursery for applicants practising
the Sikh faith. This will entail children living with parents
(single/both), legal guardians or carers demonstrating a deep
commitment to the Sikh faith and who worship a minimum
of four times a month at a Gurdwara. Evidence of this will
need to be submitted within the Supplementary Information
Form (SIF). A Head Granthi (Priest) and or another duly
authorised person(s) of the Gurdwara would have to certify
to the above. In the event of a short fall under this criterion,
the remaining places will roll over to list criterion 3.
32 Starting Primary School 2018
In the event that these places are not taken up by the closing
dates for applications, these places will be offered to Sikh
applicants who worship a minimum of four times a month as
in criterion 2 above and in the event of there being insufficient
Sikh applicants the places will be offered to those in criterion 4.
5. Any surplus places not filled by any of the above criteria will
be allocated to those children whose parents/legal guardians/
carers have applied and live nearest to the school (as
measured in a straight line from the child’s home address to
the main entrance of the school).
Within each criterion, priority will be given to:
a. Children with at least one sibling in the school at the time of
admission. The qualifying relationship is brother and sister,
this means children sharing one or both common parents,
step brother/sister, or legally adopted children, who live in
the same household.
b. Children living the shortest distance from the school will be
given priority within each category. Distance is measured by
straight line using the local authority measuring system from
a point in the property to the main gate entrance which is
used by pupils to enter the school grounds.
